At its core, Trench Express is a permissionless decentralized fair launch platform. It provides a haven for nascent tokens and creators to get their footing in the DeFi world, while being a one-stop shop for degens looking to get in on projects at the earliest, pre-launch stage. Trench Express is an advanced platform that better supports its incubated protocols and offers greater flexibility to buyers. This is accomplished by: * Providing valuable degen exposure to emerging tokens and protocols. * Allowing degens the earliest opportunity to buy and sell new tokens without the need for an expensive liquidity pool or high gas cost. Trench Express acts as an in-house exchange for users to transact with ease. Add in SocialFi and GameFi elements such as experience points for transactions and referrals, level-ups and perk unlocks, and degenning has never been more fun or rewarding. {% hint style="info" %} Trench Express runs on **Robinhood Chain**, an EVM chain whose native gas token is **ETH**. Everything you trade, deposit and pay fees in on the platform is denominated in ETH. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
